The freeverb code is broken. The functionality gets optimized out by modern 
compilers. It can still work, but you have to compile it with optimization flag 
of -O1. -O2 or higher will produce a plugin that doesn't work.

The other half of the problem is that Ardour's handling of ladspa plugins is 
broken, and has been for quite a while. It does not seem to handle certain 
types of ladspa controls correctly that work on a non-linear scale.
